From this weekend. Beautiful scenery in really bad lighting.
The Autumn sun is a terrible bright glaring thing here for most of the day this time of year.
Bright as a high intensity lamp in direct sunlight and near dark as night in the shade/shadows. Makes for lousy pics.
Overlooking the James River in Virginia. (pic #1)
Been passing this overlook on one of my favorite roads for years and never knew about it until this weekend when I happend to turn around there. Must go back in the spring for a better pic.
I'm not sure why one would build a dam in this way but looks almost surreal when being overflowed.
Highway 501
Along side the Blue Ridge Parkway.
